Glad to hear I'm not crazy. Figured I was going to get a bunch of texags responses about random 4am "explosions". Prayers for whatever's going on. I'm San Felipe at 610 ish.

Heard it SW Houston. Shook a little and startled me. Thought it was thunder rolling but nothing on radar.

Katy - Fry rd south if I-10. Very loud Windows shook. That has to be a pretty big explosion to be heard/felt over such a wide area?!

I'm in the Gessner/Clay area. My house shook and stuff fell from the attic. Saw a plume of smoke coming from what looks like just north of clay road.

I wonder if this is a retaliatory attack for Treebeards coming out this way and putting cheese on their red beans and rice.

What all is up there other than HEB? Can't imagine this was caused by exploding milk

That's south Gessner. I think this is further north, Gessner at clay. As someone pointed out there's a big H-E-B distribution center a block away.

Just had a live look at the scene on ABC.

Looks like it may have been Watson Grinding and Manufacturing

You must be right. Active incidents shows a 4:38 "building fire" call at Steffani Lane and Lybert Road.

*13 is there now.

4500 Gessner, the address from the HPD tweet, is a strip of light industrial buildings. The smoke I'm seeing is to far to the west to be the HEB facility.

Watson valve services is the guess from ABC13. Not confirmed, but hit on scene thinks that's it

Damn the ABC 13 footage is pretty wild. Debris everywhere, speculating on gas leak?

Client I'm with right now has read on a few online message boards that a few people reported smelling gas prior to the explosion.

Unverified of course that this was the actual cause
